Global Footsteps

Global Footsteps A charity focusing on sustainability, and education locally and with partner organisations abroad.

About us

Our vision
Global Footsteps is a local charity with a broad vision, we envision a healthy and peaceful world where people and the planet itself are cared for. Our overall objectives are to focus on sustainability and education to promote prosperity while protecting the planet for future generations. The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resources are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system. Our mission
As an educational charity, our aim is to help to raise awareness and encourage sustainable ways of living at community level, whether via our local Cheltenham projects including our Food Loose refills shop or through our charity projects with our partners overseas (currently Kisumu, Kenya) which can include supporting vulnerable communities to build their own sustainable businesses. Our mission is fulfilled by building and supporting partnerships, linking with other environmental groups, with twin towns, community groups and racial justice groups. We can influence and learn from all these groups, sharing our values relating to sustainable living and to diversity and equality, and actively taking part in a global community.

Hear more about a project supporting women farmers on the shores of Lake Victoria near Kisumu. This community lives hand to mouth and is increasingly having to adapt to severe and unpredictable weather. They are growing sweet potatoes co-operatively – a crop which is drought tolerant, as well as being nutritious, and enables them to be more resilient to climate, health and economic challenges. Global Footsteps has supported them financially, providing finance for training and equipment.

Benter is a community leader, a champion of women and girls, and has experience in local politics. In collaboration with Global Footsteps and Leicestershire Climate Action, she took part in an international online conference in 2021 sharing her community’s direct experiences of climate change.
